I don't know whether it is because of the full battle with the president of the Skull and Bones Society, which has made the fusion of physical qualities change, or because of the fusion of the wreckage of omega-class advanced organisms, the body caused hidden consumption.
After taking a nap the day before, Leo didn’t wake up until the evening of the next day, and he found that this sleep was very deep. It can be said that he had entered deep sleep and was completely undefended against the outside world.
Fortunately, the hotel he chose was not bad. He wouldn't enter his room at random until he was called. After a day and a half, the room was the same as he was before bed.
At this time, Leo felt a hunger sensation in his belly. He checked the data interface and found that the energy storage value had been zeroed.
Seeing fifteen people, the energy after a full day of food was completely digested when he was sleeping, he felt that there must be a problem, so he invited the waiter to prepare the food. , Also viewing personal data records.
He soon discovered the problem. As he had expected earlier, the values on the personal data interface are only the data quality of the body itself, not the power Leo has really mastered.
Now because of the full-fledged fight with the president of the Skull and Bones, a large part of the data quality is truly transformed into the corresponding force. It's just that this conversion process should have been very slow, and it will take several months to complete.
However, the higher biological debris merged yesterday produced a catalyst-like effect, speeding up the process of this numerical conversion of actual power, and compressing the conversion that can only be completed in a few months into a short time, so it will consume a lot of energy storage .
In addition, from the data point of view, this situation needs to continue for a few days, that is to say, he also needs to eat as much as possible in these days, and use the chaotic stomach pouch to reserve some energy in order to maintain the value caused by the actual power conversion. Consumption.
"I still need a lot of food. Let your boss buy a lot. I want to eat meat. I eat food every half an hour. I keep going without stopping." Leo, who swallowed a large piece of meat in his mouth and swallowed it directly. While giving orders to the stunned waiter, he withdrew a banknote with a denomination of one hundred gold flanges and ten gold coins, and handed the waiter said, "Ten gold flanges are tips for you and the kitchen. One hundred gold flanges are The cost of food is less, then come to me to add."
"Yes, yes!" The waiter quickly ran out of the room and did as Leo had instructed.
In the room, Leo took out the black information bag related to No. 9 Golden Oak Street from his backpack while eating, and took out seven folders from it, starting from the earliest in the chronological order above It looked.
Golden Oak Street is located in the Shangyue Lake District, because it is backed by the branch of the Biya Mountain, making the scenery here very good, and the snow on the top of Biya Mountain in summer will form a cold air and fall down the mountain, making this area The temperature is much cooler than other places, so this is also a resort for the dignitaries of Miria City. A large number of dignitaries buy land here and build villas.
No. 9 Golden Oak Street was originally the property of the mining tycoon Andrew Alcott of the Kingdom of Maris. The serf-born mining tycoon had to take the family across the Silver Moon Sea because he offended the power figures of the Kingdom of Maris. , Take refuge in the French Empire.
At first he lived in the city of Dongling, and later because of his background, he always became the target of the dignitaries and juggling of the dignitaries of the city of Dongling, so that he had to leave the city of Dongling and come to the city of Milia where the political atmosphere is relatively free. , And finally bought a piece of land by the Lake of Shangxueyue and built the current No. 9 Golden Oak Street.
Although the Kingdom of Maris is Andrew's hometown, he only hates and hates this hometown, so he did not choose the architectural style of his hometown when he built the villa.
In fact, he lived in the Sigma Kingdom for a few years when he was young, which made him feel calm and peaceful as never before, and it was also in those years that he harvested his first love. So he decided to build it into a church-like building with high spires, stained glass, pointed vaults, and flying buttresses that are common to the Sigma Kingdom.
A holiday villa area was erected by a church building that looked extremely cold, and anyone who saw this scene felt very strange.
Only because Andrew is very hospitable, he often held receptions to feast the power of the city of Milia, so that these powers also subconsciously recognized such a building that is very incompatible with the surrounding environment.
After spending a few years calmly like this, Andrew, as in previous years, greeted the spring festival of recovery in Miria, holding a large banquet to invite the dignitaries of Miria City.
At that time, more than one-third of the miriah city dignitaries went to the appointment. Among them, in addition to the local administrative officials of miria city, there were diplomatic envoys, embassy officials and businessmen.
However, on the next day, these noble families found that none of the people who had made the appointment had returned, so they sent someone to look for it at No. 9 Golden Oak Street.
But after arriving at the place, they found no trace of anyone. The food at the banquet was neatly placed on the table, the band's musical instruments were all in their place, and the entire villa was from the owner to the guest, then to the servant As well as the invited musicians and workers, all human beings have disappeared.
This incident was very sensational in that year. Not only the royal family of the French Empire was shocked, but other countries also sent investigators into the city of Milia because the missing people included members of their country’s embassy.
In order to restore the image, the administrative council of Miria City requested the investigators of the country council of Tomilia City and the United Kingdom to form a large investigation team to investigate this case.
It was just that the investigation team spent nearly half a year and spent countless dollars, but in the end, nothing was found.
Because the cost of this investigation was borne solely by the Executive Council of Miria City, the cost was far beyond the initial expectations of the Executive Council, which caused a great burden on the Executive Council and made the Executive Council feel that it should be settled as soon as possible. This matter, don't continue the endless investigation.
In addition, the negative impact has been reduced to the bottom of the situation so long ago, so in a suitable reality, the Executive Council of Miria City asked the investigative team to write a survey report, and then ended the impact of the Weilun countries. Joint investigation action.
It's just that things didn't end there. After the quirky villa was idle for a few years, a nobleman from the Sigma Kingdom took a fancy to the villa, and because of the extremely low price, the villa was bought.
Not long after the nobleman stayed in the villa, one night he disappeared with the servants and bodyguards he brought from the Sigma Kingdom. Only one bodyguard survived.
After the incident, the police of Milia City interrogated the bodyguard, only to realize that the bodyguard did not stay at No. 9 Golden Oak Street on the night of the incident, but ran to the Eros Lodge in Xicheng District for one night and did not return until early in the morning. And found that something went wrong.
Because this time only involved an aristocrat in the Sigma Kingdom, it was not a particularly big international event, making the city of Milia not as important as the previous one. It only formed a sergeant from the Sigma Kingdom. The small investigation team investigated this matter, and the result was the same as last time.
However, this time the reputation of No. 9 Golden Oak Street spread in Miria City. Some wealthy goodies even set up gambling for this purpose, such as how many consecutive days they entered the No. 9 Golden Oak Street and how many bonuses they received. Wait.
The huge amount of bonus made many stunners tempted by money and fought for nothing. Eventually, few people could get the bonus of the gambling game. Most of them disappeared after staying for three or four days. Later when I arrived, I checked in the same day and disappeared that night, because too many people disappeared, and no one dared to enter the villa.
However, the bonus of that gambling game has not been eliminated. Instead, it changed its name and investigated the truth of 9 Golden Oak Street. Over the years, new funds have been injected into this gambling game. The bonus has accumulated to an alarming amount.
Five of the seven folders in Leo’s hands are all missing persons’ information. One detailed the missing process, while the last one mentions other things that ordinary people do not know.
If Leo did not show extraordinary power in the black market room, he might only have six documents on hand, and the last document would not be disclosed to him.
This document is about the various investigations conducted by various organizations in the dark world on No. 9 Golden Oak Street. Leo roughly calculated that there are as many as six of them, except that they have already contacted Leo. Outside of the black market, there are organizations such as the Orthodox Church, the Hidden Church, the Night Watch, the Strange Society, and the Wizards’ Guild.
These dark-world organizations have sent people to investigate at No. 9 Golden Oak Street, and all of them are missing without exception. These missing people include the wizards of the wizards' assembly hall, the pagan adjudicators of the Orthodox Church, and The high priest of a certain evil in the hidden church, etc.
Although Leo is not clear about the strength of the wizards and adjudicators in the data, he should not be weaker than the president of the Skull and Bones.
Even such people disappeared silently at No.9 Golden Oak Street, Leo did not think he could retreat.
Although he wanted to learn Gamore language, he would not risk his life for a language, he would not do such a stupid thing, not to mention that it is not only the old man in the world who understands Gamore language, He felt that he should be able to buy materials in the Gamorian language in the black market.
Remove the files from the folder and put them on the oil lamps one by one. After all the files are destroyed, Leo also forgot about the matter of No. 9 Golden Oak Street and no longer think about it.
Then, Leo picked up some of today's major newspapers delivered by the waiter, and when he saw the first newspaper, he was a little surprised.
This newspaper is called the Voice of Honor of the Français, it is a morning newspaper, which belongs to the Français Parliament and is considered an official newspaper. Now the front page of this newspaper is an official obituary, saying Louis IX News of death.
Leo picked up several other morning papers from different newspapers and found that the front page headlines of these newspapers were still related to the Skull and Bones. The additional issue of the supplement was the news of Louis IX’s death.
Almost without too much brainstorm, Leo could guess that the obituary that appeared in the official French newspaper was probably inserted suddenly, forcibly replacing the original front page headline, and even not notifying the editor of the newspaper, nor getting it. The permission of Dong Rin City should be the result of another unknown force intervening.
Other newspapers have added supplements, it should be because of the remedial actions made after seeing the actions of the official French newspapers. After all, a gang of news has overwhelmed the death of the emperor of Frankish. This is unreasonable.
So all the morning papers hurriedly released the supplement of the obituary of Louis IX. As for the confirmation of the news to Dong Rin City, it was too late, because even if you use the airship to go back and forth, it will take two days, and there is no time to confirm. .
And now it is precisely the fog period of the Black Forest. Even if it is an airship, after entering the Black Forest, the probability of falling is much greater than other times, so no airship company is willing to venture through the Black Forest at this time, so the law The communication between the East and the West can only rely on the postal system of the Continental Train.
What's more, no matter whether the news is correct or not, in any other newspaper's opinion, there are official newspapers blocking it in the front. Even if the royal family blames them, they will not blame them.
This fearless mentality is mainly because the city of Miriah has always been in a state of semi-autonomy. Although the French military gendarmes are stationed outside the city, the local administration of the city and its surrounding cities and counties have local councils. The decision, therefore, made the residents of the city of Milia less afraid of the royal family. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
The following newspapers were some midday newspapers in Miria City. These originally unimportant newspapers also joined the emperor's obituary, and there was also a detailed life of the emperor. At the same time, he began to speculate on the ownership of the French throne.
And the most strange place is that most of the newspapers have a battle report with a headline at the end. The battle report mentions that the French army with the Duke of Devin’s direct force as the core defeated the Inge army last night and completely rushed After leaving the Bretley region, it will soon completely liberate other regions under the control of the Inge Kingdom.
There is nothing wrong with this battle report itself, but in front of this battle report is discussing the attribution of the emperor's position, which gives anyone who sees this kind of newspaper a strong feeling that Duke of Devin is the most appropriate Heir to the emperor.
If there is no evening paper, Leo will see that this is the Duke of Derwin's secretly shot, creating public opinion in advance, increasing prestige, and not giving the other two heirs to the throne the chance to compete for the throne.
However, not long ago, the front page headlines published in all the Evening Newspapers in Milia City, including the official newspapers such as the Sound of Glory of the French, let Leo see that the three newspapers of different periods today are definitely the same forces. And, in his mind, three names emerged unequivocally and unequivocally, Baron Mopossant, Kingdom of England and the old man of the villa.
The news reported jointly by the city’s Evening News was that the Kingdom of England and the Vellon Medical Association each submitted a complaint against the Duke of Derwin’s use of imine gas in the Bretley War.
And, just after holding a meeting for less than half an hour, the Continental Parliament passed two complaints, sent a letter to the city of Dongling, and asked Duke of Devin to come to Miriam for trial.
